Let’s get one thing straight – this work didn’t start with us. Rather, we are building on generations of Indigenous knowledge and standing on the shoulders of giants who have fought, and in some cases even died, in the name of environmental justice and conservation. Consequently, La Madre Tierra (LMT) aims to equip Indigenous & Latine social justice advocates with the latest digital advocacy tools needed in the fight for clean, healthy, and resourced communities.
Our work is a response to the urgent need to better resource and mobilize Indigenous and Latine communities in the fight against climate change, environmental injustice, misinformation, and other intersecting forms of oppression our communities face. Despite often bearing the disproportionate consequences of climate change, while also developing the most innovative solutions to climate resiliency, our communities remain severely underfunded and under supported.

La Madre Tierra played a vital role in our #StopCopCity organizing support efforts, rallying TikTok influencers to co-power young voices taking action against ecological destruction and police militarization. Our shared commitment to protecting people and planet moves us to advance transformational, intersectional social justice for all.
